R.J. Walsh & Son Pty Ltd, manufacturer of Regal sulkies, is Australia‘s leading sulky manufacturer.

Established in 1961 by Reg Walsh, R.J. Walsh & Son has grown to become the largest manufacturer of harness racing vehicles in the southern hemisphere. Our sulkies have enjoyed outstanding racing success, and as our numerous awards demonstrate, we have revolutionised the harness racing industry in Australia and abroad through the introduction of the stainless steel sulky, the offset sulky design, and the invention of a unique independent suspension system.

On the right you can see our factory at 122 Gow Street, Padstow, where we have been located since 1981.

R.J. Walsh & Son have two vehicle product lines: high quality Regal Sulkies such as the Mustang, the Ireland Special and the Brumby for full-sized horses, and the revolutionary Regal Mini Sulkies for large dogs and miniature horses.

For decades, R J Walsh & Son has been the most innovative and successful cart designer in the business.

Our service is the best, and that's as important to us as the performance of our bikes. The sulky advances that have made a difference since 1980—stainless steel shafts, the offset sulky, the suspension sulky—all came from Regal.

Need more evidence? No other Australian manufacturer has licensed their sulky technology to the USA, where Regal gigs won the Woodrow Wilson Pace and the Little Brown Jug.

"They are in a class of their own." - Leading NSW driver, Blake Fitzpatrick.

Regal sulkies hold ten times more world records over the mile than those of all models of all sulkies by all other sulky manufacturers in the southern hemisphere combined. Find out more about them on our Sulky Models page, and where you can buy them on our Agents page.

The world of harness racing isn't the only place R.J. Walsh & Son's peerless combination of innovation and technical expertise has made a splash. In 2001, eye-catching Regal Mini Sulkies revolutionised canine carting in Australia and North America.

Customers loved the Minis' combination of light weight, durable construction and ingenious balance which ensures the point of the shaft rides above their dog's back at all times.

And dogs love the unique feeling of freedom they get running in a Mini! The original single shaft sulky for dogs, the Mini Sulky range dispenses with the constrictive two-shaft model which many dogs find intimidating and uncomfortable. Read more about them on the Regal Mini Sulkies site.
